Patrick Bet-David

Patrick Bet-David is the founder and CEO of a financial services firm and the creator of Valuetainment, the #1 YouTube channel for entrepreneurship with more than 3 million subscribers. He is the author of the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller Your Next Five Moves (Gallery). He fled war-torn Iran with his family at age eight and moved to California after two years at a refugee camp in Germany. With few options after barely graduating high school, Bet-David served in the Army’s 101st Airborne. After the army, he sold gym memberships before selling financial services and became a self-made millionaire at twenty-six. Rather than rest on his laurels, Bet-David risked it all at age thirty to start his own company. PHP, the agency he founded with 66 agents, has grown to more than 20,000 licensed agents in less than twelve years. With a valuation in the hundreds of millions, he has earned both handsome returns and the respect from investors including Oscar de la Hoya. His content on social media has been viewed over a billion times. Bet-David lives in South Florida with his wife, four children, and two Shih Tzus.
